Somewhat new to Road riding with only a few 1000 miles on the road saddle. This may sound like a stupid question, so I'll apologize ahead of the post.
I'm riding a Specialized Roubaix Triple and just changed my wheels for a stronger more durable set, while doing so I changed my cassette to a 12-27 (Ultegra 9) so that I can cope with some of the hills (I'm an old guy too!) After installation (at home) I noticed that the rear dérailleur (Ultegra) seemed to be a little closer to the 27 gear than it used to be to the old 25 The chain roller seems to be as close as it can get. Do I need to extend my chain or get a slightly longer Chain? or is there an adjustment that can be accomplished? Apart from that it indexes ok, and I haven't road tested it yet. Any help or a link if this has been answered before would be very much appreciated.
